Find Strength During Spiritual Attack With These 10 Bible Verses
March 09, 2017

Fight Back During Spiritual Attack
When our days get dark, doubt sets in. We start to wrestle with God's promises. Can they be true? This is a spiritual attack. Christian author Kelly Balarie uses these 10 Bible verses to find strength during these times!
What Spiritual Attack Looks Like
All I could see were overwhelming signs I was not doing things right for God. My heart is falling off a ravine, my feelings are stuck in thorn bushes, God's plans for me are somewhere ahead in that vast fog.
Here's where I end up: I need to work harder, pray better, try more and be a better person to receive God's love. I carry the baggage of discouragement and doubt. I sit annoyed and flustered by life.
Have you landed here too? Are you struggling to believe God? To hold close his promises because you can't seem to get close enough to God?

I want to tell you something that will reassure you: This is likely a spiritual attack.
If you are getting after God, with your whole heart, but distraction, lies or discouragement won't shake off you, you are likely being hit by the enemy. If you are pursuing clarity, but all you find is confusion, you are likely being hit by the enemy. If you are giving God your whole heart, but still feeling tired, worn and weary, you are likely being hit by the enemy.

The Good News
The good thing about this is: Victory is as won - as you are you. The one against us, cannot effectively come against the cross. Jesus is, forever and always, high and lifted. There is no undoing his reign. His opportunities, insights and wisdom is already ours.
With this, the enemy's only strategy is to make us believe he can undo what Jesus did. His only opportunity is a fake. He diverts us left and if we move with him, and take our eyes off truth, we lose God. But, if we stand firm and don't give in to his fake, we stand firm. We move towards the goal of Christ Jesus.
So, with this, let us stand firm in truth. Let us allow it to sink into our mind, then into our heart and then down to our feet, so that we walk out with such assurance, nothing - no way, no how - can shake us.
Here is our arsenal, our power and our stand - these verses.
